Using Dose Helper For The First Time - AgaMatrix JAZZ DoseCoach Owner's Manual

Using Dose Helper for the first time

Start using Dose Helper when it is time
for you to take your dose.
Dose Helper needs three fasting blood
glucose readings from the next three
days and the insulin dose that you take
each day, before giving you a first dose
suggestion on day 4. In these first three
days of use:
•
Measure your fasting blood glucose
every day.
•
Run Dose Helper and enter your
insulin glargine dose every day.
Before you start using Dose Helper
you need to know:
•
How to measure your blood
glucose and tag fasting blood
glucose readings.
•
How to recognise and treat hypo
symptoms.
•
How to use your insulin glargine
safely.
•
What to do in case of sick days,
travel or vacation, or changes in
diet or activity.
•
What dose to take in the first days
of using Dose Helper ("starting
dose").
Ask your doctor or nurse if you are
not sure about any of these topics.
